"Waverley is the World's last seagoing paddle steamer offering Day, Afternoon and Evening Cruises in several areas around the UK. Step aboard to enjoy a unique piece of our maritime, industrial and social heritage. Only aboard Waverley can you enjoy unrivalled access to our stunning coastline, savour the sound as the paddles beat, view the ship's powerful steam engine and even watch the paddles turning. Waverley has full catering facilities open throughout the cruise including our very own Souvenir Shop where you can purchase an exclusive Waverley memento of your time aboard this famous survivor from the age of steam!"

It has a triple-expansion steam engine, and the cylinders are almost horizontal.

I learned about this ship from this video. It has several scenes from different angles.

I don't think much about a bucket list; but if I did, Glasgow would be on it. I presume England's narrowboat canal system connects with Glasgow.
